Spanish Bluebells
Taken from my garden and photographed indoors.
This species of bluebell was introduced to the UK by the Victorians in the early 1900s as a garden plant, but have since escaped into the wild and have spread across the country,.
Although Spanish bluebells are not on the invasive species list, there are worries out how they affect our native species of bluebells, because they readily spread and can outcompete them and hybridise them.
We have lots of these in the garden, despite the fact we keep digging them up and putting them in the compost bin (after the photos of course).
